Hi,

Has anyone in this forum purchased any camera from smartshoppers.in? Id love to hear about your experience.
I was browsing thru the site and saw that they have the best deals going. I am looking to purchase the Canon EOS 500D and wanted to be sure that they are reliable.

One more help needed:
I am a complete novice to photography and wanted to start off with a DSLR. After some research, I have fixed on the Canon EOS 500 D as it also has Full HD video recording.

Can someone pls advise me on the following:

1 - Should I go with the standard 18-55mm lens or should I spend more and buy the 18-200mm lens.

2 - If I go for the 18-200mm then Canon is very very expensive. Should I settle on the Tamron 18-200 instead?

Thanks,
Rahul

SmartShoppers.in are reliable although I not purchased any cameras from them. They sometimes list their items on ebay.in if you plan to buy from them ask them to list that item on ebay.in.

Buying through ebay.in protects the buyer - so you should not face any problems.

I would suggest you to go with the standard 18-55mm lens initially and then work towards purchasing the other one.
